Anntony's At the Landing

I will drive ONE HOUR for GREAT FOOD! That's what I said to Dr. Tony Martin, a friend for 30 some odd years, before getting a handshake and a hug. It's true, 61 miles from house to his latest concept:Annthony's at The Landing on Lake Norman. What a great location...kind of DIVEY kind of ECLECTIC! Locations have changed over the years but not the FOODS. Between my wife, myself and our daughter we had 1/4 White, 1/4 Dark, Tropical Fried Shrimp, Mac and Cheese, Callaloo Greens, Potato Salad, Black Beans and Cabbage. We tried all of the sauces... Island, Mild Jerk and Spicy Jerk. Our 8 year old daughter loved everything she tried. It had been several years since last eating with Tony and today was like coming home. We will be making the one hour drive once a month to get our fill. Hats off to Linda who has been Tony's Manager, and right hand, for as long as I can remember. Do yourself a favor and make the trip. We can't wait for warmer weather so we can sit outside and watch to boats. You can also purchase Dr. Martin's Sauces and Spices while you're there

If you looking for bar food with a Caribbean flair it's a good place, drinks are cold, rode our jet skis and docked was super easy. Plenty of outdoor seating. Our server Bella was great super attentive! My only complaint is that I asked for 3 different items and they were all not available.

The disappointment and regret you will feel after dining here lingers for hours. We felt this after ordering a $20 pork platter that ended up resembling something you would get at a school cafeteria. Small portions did not at all represent a platter. The service was excellent, but even their hard work can't mask the horrible food. I don't get the concept of caribbean food with a southern flair - there is no flair to the food, it's very plain and not very flavorful. it's a shame, because the location is pretty nice. There is potential here. My advice would be to ditch the menu and start over with better options.

Do not EVER try and come here by boat. The boat slips are now used for the boat club and not the restaurant patrons. The food is awful. They were out of wings, Mac n cheese and wraps. Go to the damn grocery store. Cheeseburger had a weird seasoning. Greens had an awful flavor. The grilled cheese was the only edible thing at the table. No one was in there which was the first sign but after waiting an hour to get a slip we stuck around. Used to love the wings, ribs, cheese steaks and pizzas.

Anntony's has the best jerk chicken around and they sell the sauce to take home!!!! Amazing service and views! Nothing like the old Landing! Try it out and enjoy yourself.

First time trying under new menu. We had an order of the spicy jerk chicken wings and they were amazing and plump. I also had the island burger and it was great. Service was good and live music gave it a good island tiki bar feel. We'll definitely be back. If you plan on coming via boat be aware they have limited parking since they are using it for a boat club now.

Just tried the food, but first I ordered a draft beer and was told three of the four taps were not working. Ok. Then my wife ordered the chicken wrap and was told they were out of it. Next she ordered the nachos with chicken and you guessed it no chicken so she got the Cuban pork. When she started eating it the nacho were coated in oil and the beans were room temperature. She told waitress who offered to replace order but my wife said no thanks. I would not have written this review but they charged us for the food we sent back. Customer Service? No thanks I go somewhere else next time. Oh and the waitress said the owner was on site and the owners son worked in the kitchen but did anyone but the waitress ask us about the food we sent back, no. Being open a few weeks I would think they would want to know and keep customers coming back.

All my stars are related to outdoor atmosphere on a spectacular summer evening, and they had a live musician. We ordered a plate to share and almost laughed at how small the portion was. 1 plate, 1 appetizer, 2 drinks = $50. Sadly, the food was not very good either. Quickly decided this is a great cocktail, hang out in great weather place. Not a place for food. Service was top notch.

Anntony's has done a great job revamping the Landing's menu with Caribbean offerings such as jerk chicken and roasted pork. The atmosphere is fun inside and out. Service has always been good at this location, and you can still find many familiar faces. The only drawback is that you will find it extremely difficult to find a boat slip.

Go somewhere else!Had a large gift card issued in January from our son by "The Landing". Anntony's At the Landing will not honor it. BAD FOR BUSINESS! No recommendations from us any more.
